COLORS ASSIGNED TO THE MINOR TRUMPS These colors were given to the number cards by the Order of the Golden Dawn. In the Thoth (Crowley) Deck, they can often be seen to dominate the background of the corresponding card. WANDS: These ten colors are derived from ancient Qabalistic speculation. In Sepher Zohar they are mainly composed of mixtures of red and white to suggest differing proportions of severity and mercy. Touches of blue and yellow are added from astral study to increase the variety. The allocation of blue to the deuce also comes from Sepher Zohar. ACE ----------- Brilliance

TWO ----------- Pale soft blue

THREE ------- Crimson

FOUR ---------- Deep violet

FIVE ---------- Orange

SIX ------------- Clear pink rose

SEVEN ------- Amber

EIGHT --------- Violet Purple

NINE --------- Indigo

TEN ------------ Yellow

CUPS: These ten colors and groups of colors are obtained from the Qabalah and the theory of color pigment mixing. They also reflect the traditional planetary and Alchemical correspondences to the Tree of Life. These are: 3 - Saturn - Lead - Black; 4 - Jupiter - Tin - Blue; 5 - Mars - Iron - Red; 6 - Sun - Gold Yellow; 7 - Venus - Copper - Green; 8 - Mercury - Orange; 9 - Moon - Silver - Violet. Most of the colors come from common ores or compounds of the corresponding metals, e.g. Mercuric Chloride is reddish orange and Silver Chloride is purplish. The three shades: ACE --------- White Brillance TWO -------- Gray

THREE ------- Black

The three primaries: FOUR -------- Blue (Cyan)

FIVE -------- Red (Magenta) SIX ------------ Yellow

The three secondaries: SEVEN ------- Green (Blue+Yellow) EIGHT ------- Orange (Red+Yellow) NINE ----------- Violet (Red+Blue) The tertiaries or earth colors: TEN --------- Citrine, Olive, Russet and Black Citrine = Orange+Green Olive= Green+Violet Russet = Orange+Violet Black = all three primaries mixed or all three secondaries mixed or Citrine+Olive+Russet SWORDS: These ten colors are obtained by mixing the two colors of the same number in Wands and Cups. This is in accord with Qabalistic method: Fire and Water mix to form Air, the and the first of combine to produce , the next letter. ACE ------ White Brilliance

TWO ------ Blue Gray

THREE ---- Dark Brown

FOUR ----- Deep Purple

FIVE ----- Bright Scarlet SEVEN ---- Bright Yellow-Green NINE ----- Very Dark Purple

SIX ------ Rich Salmon EIGHT ---- Red Russet TEN ------ Citrine, Olive, Russet and Black, all flecked with gold.

COINS: These ten colors are often derived from the colors for the same number in Wand and Cups, especially the latter. They add a flecked color which may represent a secondary correspondence to one of the colors in Cups or Wands not otherwise suggested by the dominant color. The colors for Coins are vaguely linked to a variety of theories about the meaning of the earthly aspect of each number. They are also often the result of astral visions of auras encountered in known situations or seen about the astral bodies of people of know character. ACE ------ White flecked Gold

TWO ------ White flecked Red, Blue and Yellow

THREE ---- Grey flecked Pink

FOUR ----- Deep Azure flecked Yellow

FIVE ----- Red flecked Black

SIX ------ Gold Amber (no flecking)

THE MINOR TRUMPS AND ASTROLOGY The Order of the Golden Dawn allocated Aces to the four elements and the rest of the Minor Trumps to decans of the zodiac. A decan is a ten degree division of a zodiacal sign. Thus each sign has three decans or 30°. All twelve signs total 36 decans. In assigning ruling planets to the decans, the Golden Dawn used the method of Ptolemy. Modern astrology frequently uses a much less elaborate method. Both are given here. In the Thoth (Crowley) Deck, this information is marked on the cards themselves for Two through Ten. In the Rider or Celtic (Waite) Deck, these factors are sometimes translated into corresponding Major Trumps and used as a basis for the design; e.g. the Two of Wands has Aries ruled by Mars. This is the Emperor (Aries) and the Tower (Mars), so the card shows an Emperor standing on a Tower. The Key Expression used by the Order of the Golden Dawn usually derives from this Astrological correspondence. Tarot Card:
